I agree im a person with a considerable amount of computer knowledge but i dont know windows programming so i would absolutly not use this with out a reputable programmer confirming this source code is safe.
Im sure you mean well, but its just hard to trust executables from newbs at this point im time.
I agree and wholeheartedly support this sentiment.
We hope to earn people's trust over time (by actually being trustworthy). We are planning a code signing system in the future - a combination of code and procedure to ensure safe, verifiable binaries. It's a tricky problem and until we figured it out we don't want to give the impression that a random binary is safe - whether from a newcomer or a trusted source.
I build all my Bitcoin related programs from source and carefully check the diffs. This is sadly not an option for the vast majority of people out there.
